the movie is about a past idol/singer, played by Cha Tae Hyeon (차태현), who's fame has dwindled over the years until present time where he's a radio talk show host. he is shocked to discover that he has an illegitimate daughter. more so than being "discovered", she showed up at his front door. to make things more interesting she brings along her illegitimate son. at first i found it pretty shocking that teen pregnancy was being glorified or at least made acceptable in a korean movie. a 30 something year old being a grandfather? this ain't the hood with baby mamas and crack babies... i could already imagine the older korean generations watching this, shaking their heads in discouragement.well regardless the whole illegitimate children storyline sets up the movie for some really funny moments. i thought they did an excellent job with the casting. Cha Tae Hyeon (차태현) gave a solid performance that for me was as memorable as My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀). playing the daughter is the very talented and very cute Park Bo Yeong (박보영) who's performance in this movie put her on the map. overall i recommend you go watch this movie. when you do watch it look out for the go-stop scene. ^^
